Re: Winter Caught Some Napping

My fellow Arkansans may chime in on this one but we tend to get a lot of ice and sleet in my area. The more hilly areas can get snow, like where I grew up in the Ozark Mountains.

For the most part almost any frozen precipitation is so infrequent it doesn't take much to mess things up and shut us down. Not to mention the state road department seems somewhat inept in clearing.

Seems at least half the folks in this state with jacked up 4x4's thinks the snow/ice isn't going to affect them. Still barreling down the road at 60+ mph. I've owned nothing but a 4x4 for years but I know it helps me go and doesn't help me in the stopping department.

I usually slow down to the point if I do slip off the road it's not a fire ball crash. Or, just stay at home and try to not get myself into trouble.

Stay warm, pack a good hat, coat, and gloves in case you are stranded or have to walk.
